No close-ups -- you then see how bad it is.

We don't want a close up of you Msea, just the Tanker please.

We all know how bad you look in daylight.

I hope my next is always better

I'll show you my close ups if you show me yours - then you'll see how bad things are!!  Nice to see the progress last night.

Well back to the ships - paint on the wood deck, lifeboats  and rigging fitted. Now a coat of Klear and then on with the weathering.

Well on with the crew and some figures in a small boat.  If I was Haddock I would be able to paint the faces with eyes and mouth - but its me so they will stay as a pink blob

Now it won the maritime trophy, you're going to have to post pictures of it!  Well done martin.  I love the bits of life you always manage to inject into your models.

It looked great on the day, at the show, it had a certain life about it.
Well done.
